Thanks Mr. President. Keep up the good work of helping us get out of the Bush great recession, and the economic devastation wrought by Republican rule. We have come a long way since Bush left office and after 8-years of Republican rule when we were losing 500,000 jobs per month.
US employers add 165K jobs, rate falls to 7.5 pct.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in April, and hiring was much stronger in the previous two months than the government first estimated. The job increases helped reduce the unemployment rate from 7.6 percent to a four-year low of 7.5 percent.
The report Friday from the Labor Department was a reassuring sign that the U.S. job market is improving despite higher taxes and government spending cuts that took effect this year.
The government revised up its estimate of job gains in February and March by a combined 114,000. It now says employers added 332,000 jobs in February and 138,000 in March. The economy has created an average of 208,000 jobs a month from November through April — above the 138,000 added in the previous six months.
An additional 210,000 people started looking for work in April, and many of them found jobs.
"This is a good report," said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. "There's a lot of strength... It's good for the economy. It's good for people's income."
Stock futures rose immediately after the jobs report was released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time . . . .
The hiring last month was broad-based.

There are still millions of people who are struggling financially. My Real Estate business took a huge hit from 2007-2012, and I nearly lost everything. I don't know any other Democrats who think everything is rosey either. I'm sure you're among the many, who believe all Liberals are lazy welfare scabs, sitting around smoking pot, and sucking the financial life out of REAL America's such as yourself, but you'll find this is not true.

Now...please explain to us how President Obama became a scoundrel?
Agreed. Numerous precincts reported many thousands of votes for Obama with only 1 or 2 votes for Romney, and one precinct reported over 18 THOUSAND votes with all for Obama and not a single one for Romney.
That is statistically impossible. The election was a fraud, I do not accept Obama as the president or the current government as being legitimate.

Originally posted by KilgoreTrout15Election fraud was the Supreme Court deciding Bush would be our president. Stop whining. Obama is a very popular president, unlike the do and know nothing Republicans in Congress.
